It’s peak berry season and I love using fruit when I bake! Even if I’m just throwing together a simple dessert like this ultra-easy Fourth of July themed dish. Fruit just makes everything a little prettier… add in a some cookie cutters and some beautiful bakeware and serving dishes by MacKenzie-Childs and you’ve got a quick treat that is sure to be the hit of any party!
With the Fourth of July being this weekend, what better last-minute potluck than this Star-Spangled Banner Fruit Pizza in a gorgeous MacKenzie-Childs dish and serve for breakfast on Saturday with a latte (or mimosa)?
3 Packs of raw Sugar Cookie Dough (I like Pillsbury)
2 Packages of Cream Cheese
4 Cups Blueberries
3 Cups Strawberries
2 Cups Raspberries
2 Cups Blackberries
Flour to keep the cookies from sticking when cutting into stars
Step 1: WASH YOUR FRUIT
Step 2: Stagger 2 packs of raw Sugar Cookie Dough
Step 3: While the Sugar Cookie Dough is softening, put flour on a cutting board and cut the other pack of Sugar Cookie Dough into stars with a cookie cutter (or any other cookie cutter). This is optional but I think it makes it look so pretty!
Step 4: After you have cut the cookies into stars and placed on a cookie tray, press the sugar cookie dough from step 2 together so it makes on big crust
Step 5: Take the cream cheese and open, let soften while you are baking the cookie dough.
Step 6: Bake the crust first at 350 for about 12-13 minutes or until golden
Step 7: Take the crust out of the oven and let cool while you bake the star cookies at 350 for 8-9 minutes or until golden
Step 8: Remove star cookies and let cool
Step 9: Once the stars + pizza crust have cooled, spread the softened cream cheese on top of the crust
Step 10: Once that is spread out, scoop your berries onto the crust
Step 11: Place your stars on top
Step 12: SERVE AND ENJOY!
